Trusnik, 30, originally signed on with the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of back in 2007. He was later traded to the Browns before later signing with the Dolphins in 2011.

In 2014, Trusnik appeared in all 16 games for the Dolphins and recorded 50 tackles, an interception, two fumble recoveries and two pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him down for playing 397 total snaps last year to go along with a solid rating as a run-defender.

 

Trusnik, 6-4 and 252 pounds, is also known as a special-teams ace and continues a string of signings the Panthers hope will strengthen those units.
 
“Jason is an experienced player who adds more competition to the linebacker position and has also been a special teams ace,” Panthers coach Ron Rivera said in a release. “I expect him to come in and be a leader. Even though he is new to us, he’s got veteran savvy to him.”
 
Trusnik was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent from Ohio Northern by the New York Jets in 2007. He has also been with the Cleveland Browns.
 
 
“I see the camaraderie that the players and coaches and general manger have here – the vision they have for their team, what kind of people they bring in and their attitude about winning,” Trusnik said in the release. “I think that says a lot about the Carolina Panthers and what they have going here.”http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article17023568.html

Analysis: Trusnik has been a valuable -- but under-the-radar -- member of the Dolphins for the past four seasons. He's played in 64 straight games for Miami in a variety of roles. Trusnik has 10 starts for the Dolphins at inside and outside linebacker during his tenure, which included six starts last season. He's a smart, dependable player who does his job. Trusnik also brings leadership and value to the Dolphins as their special teams' captain. Look for Miami to make a push to keep Trusnik inside its locker room.
 

 

Seems like another great signing for special teams. Decent back-up

Love it. Can be our 3rd LB and a huge piece on special teams. Blackburn in 2013 for us was better than Klein/Glanton last year and that contributed to our struggles in run-defense last year so if Trusnik can play like Blackburn or better this could be a significant signing on defense not just special teams.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all.

      Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.

      I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
